This National Trust–classified store traded for 100 years (1871 to 1972) before closing its doors. Two generations of owners had kept a lot of old stock (no 'use-by' dates in those days), and the museum is crammed with tins, bottles and packets, including early Vegemite jars, Victorian-era curry powder and stock- and credit-ledgers. It's a nostalgic wonderland for anyone interested in consumer and advertising ephemera.
The gorgeous Queenslander next door dates to the same period, and once belonged to the store owners.
